Recipes are a framework but the most important thing is the ingredient. ~ Alice Waters
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a way of life, especially here in Costa Rica where our natural resources are abundant and where we’re seen as a global leader in sustainability. With close ties to our environment and our community, we’re aware of how these resources can be impacted by our choices as a society, as a business, or even as an individual.
At Florblanca, we’re committed to having a positive impact on sustainability. Whether we’re finding ways we can reduce our footprint or bringing to life new ideas that nurture our community, we’re always evolving our efforts and evaluating our choices.
This same evolution is happening at Nectar Restaurant. We’ve always drawn inspiration from the ocean at our doorstep and the traditional dishes of our beautiful country. But more recently, we’ve explored deeper into our community to find the best ingredients for our dishes. We’re sourcing fresh, seasonal ingredients from local farmers, fishermen, and artisans.
The closer that we get to the source of our food, the better it is for us and for this planet. ~ Alice Waters
